Miranda Reports Initial Drill Results from Red Hill Project
July 06 2011 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to
announce initial drill results from its Red Hill Project in Eureka
County, Nevada. Miranda’s funding partner at Red Hill, NuLegacy
Gold Corporation, have completed three holes in the Long Fault
Anomaly predominately on Miranda’s portion of the Red Hill project.
Three holes in the ongoing drill campaign have been completed for
approximately 4,430 ft (1,350 m). Assays are available for only one
of the holes.
As reported to the Company, of particular interest is a
significant intercept of 5ft of 0.055 oz Au/t (1.5m of 1.874 g
Au/t) within a broader zone of anomalous mineralization in
RHM11-006. The gold bearing interval is within the hanging wall of
the Long Fault Anomaly and occurs within carbonaceous and pyritic
siltstone and limestone of the Horse Canyon Formation, a geologic
host for economic mineralization in the nearby Cortez District.

* Anomalous is between 10 and 100 ppb Au (0.010 and 0.100 g
Au/t). Drilled intersections; true widths cannot be estimated at
this time.
Drill results continue to validate the Induced Polarization
survey that defined the Long Fault Anomaly and suggest the presence
of a significant gold-bearing hydrothermal system with alteration
features common to gold deposits on the Cortez Trend.
Project Details
Red Hill is a sediment-hosted gold project consisting of 79 lode
claims covering 2.6 sq mi (6.7 sq km) that is located 15 miles (24
km) southeast of the 12 million ounce Cortez Hills gold deposit.
The Red Hill project occurs within a window of lower-plate
limestone exposed through chert and siliceous sediments of the
upper-plate of the Roberts Mountains Thrust. It is one of a series
of windows and associated gold deposits that define the Cortez
Trend. The project covers an extensive area of hydrothermal
alteration occurring within fault zones in and pervasively in
lower-plate limestone.
In 2006 drill hole BRH-013 intersected 80 ft of 0.146 oz Au/t
(24.4m of 4.987g Au/t) from 1,920 to 2,000 ft (585.4 to 609.8m),
including 45 ft of 0.237 oz Au/t (913.7m of 8.105g Au/t) from 1,920
to 1,965 ft (585.4 to 599.1m). Gold mineralization is hosted in
silty carbonate rocks associated with altered lamprophyre dikes and
high levels of arsenic, antimony, mercury and thallium. These
features indicate a Carlin-style gold system may be present at Red
Hill.
All drill samples were collected with a reverse circulation
drill using 5 ft (1.5 m) sample intervals and following standard
industry practice. Samples were assayed by American Assay
Laboratories, Inc. of Sparks, Nevada. Gold results were determined
using standard fire assay techniques on a 30 gram sample with an
atomic absorption finish. NuLegacy’s QC/QA included the insertion
of numerous standards and blanks on a regular basis. All data,
disclosed in this press release, including sampling, analytical and
test data have been reviewed and verified by Joseph Hebert, Vice
President of Exploration, C.P.G., BSc. Geology and Qualified Person
as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
